Determining Whether to Repair or Replace Your AC System
Next time your system is on the fritz, will you know whether it is best to repair or replace your AC? It's a tough call. Let us make it a little easier.
Consider the following factors when determining whether to repair or replace your AC system:
- Your AC's age: Older systems (10-15+ years) tend to be less efficient and prone to frequent breakdowns. A new unit can save you money on energy bills over time.
- Repair costs: If fixes are starting to cost a significant amount compared to a new system, replacement starts to make financial sense.
- Performance and comfort: Humidity problems and high energy bills are signs that you might need an upgrade.
Climatemakers of VA has the know-how to give you a clear picture of your options. We'll walk you through the pros and cons of repair vs. replacement, with a focus on long-term savings and comfort. Our goal is to give you the information you need to make a confident and informed choice.

Preparing Your Home for an AC Installation
If you want to make sure the installation process goes smoothly and quickly, there are some steps you can take to support a smooth process.
Here's what you can do to prepare:
- Clear the way: Remove any furniture, decorations, or clutter from the areas where your indoor and outdoor AC units will be installed. This gives technicians space to work and protects your belongings.
- Check your ducts (if applicable): If you have existing ductwork, have it inspected for leaks, damage, or poor insulation. Addressing these issues before installation can set your system up for maximum efficiency.
- Consider upgrades: Now's a great time to upgrade attic, wall, or floor insulation if needed. Better insulation helps support a cooler indoor environment, thereby reducing the amount of time your AC needs to run.
- Discuss electrical needs: Your new AC might have electrical requirements different from those of your old system. Ask your Climatemakers of VA technician to assess your home's electrical setup and discuss any needed upgrades.
- Plan for outdoor space: Make sure there's enough clear space for your outdoor AC unit. Technicians may need to remove some landscaping temporarily, so it's good to be aware.
